If he were fired today, is Thibs a worse GM than Kahn was?

The obvious answer is no, but when thinking about it I am not so sure.

At least when Kahn was finally fired he didn't set us up for failure maxing out all of our resources.

The signature move of his tenure was drafting Rubio and Flynn above Curry.

Runner up: Wes Johnson above Cousins

Runner Runner up: drafting Derek Williams

Trading Parsons to Houston for cash along with signing Darko to a long term deal

However, he did have some good moments as well: He brought on Adelman on board and that brought out the best in Love. Drafting Rubio was a good move and he eventually convinced him to come play here. Traded Foye and Miller to get the pick used on Rubio. AK47 was a good signing

​

Let's now look at Thibs:

Essentially traded LaVine, Markkenen and Dunn for Covington, Saric, Bayless and a second round pick. As it turned out we traded a guard a wing and a PF for a worse guard, a worse wing and a worse PF.

He stunted the growth of one the best big men to come along in the last couple decades. Decimated morale and interest in the franchise.

Removed all of our financial flexibility by giving Wiggins a max extension

Signed Gorgui, Teague and Taj to above market deals (and I like Taj )

​

Positives: won one game in the playoffs, drafted Okogie

​

There are obviously several other moves both made, but these are the most influential ones going from memory.

Recency bias probably tints this, but it isn't so cut and dried any more

Looking at it like this I think Thibs brief tenure may have been worse than Kahn's. It is certainly more disheartening and possibly more damaging to our franchise
